Cleophas Malala alleges threats on his life

What you need to know:

  • The senator added that some leaders were misleading the public that he had organised his own arrest last month for political reasons. 
  • Last month, two young and vocal senators were said to be among legislators collecting funds from county governors to influence the fate of the county revenue-sharing Bill.

Cleophas Malala wept... Like the son of Nazareth, the Kakamega senator cried piteously before his colleagues on Monday, alleging a scheme by officers from the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to eliminate him.

He was addressing a joint sitting of the Senate committees on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights and National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. The session was convened to have the Inspector-General of Police Hillary Mutyambai respond to security concerns raised by Mr Malala and other senators.
